Toppidrettsveka 2012: Bike Race

This video clip is from the 35 km bike race on the second day of the Toppidrettsveka in Norway. Several World Cup regulars are featured including Jean Marc Gaillard, Marcus Hellner and Oystein Pettersen. They’re on mountain bikes, but with the long loop and mix of terrain I’d call it a cyclocross race . Riders are going over everything from pavement to trail to stream crossings and hike-a-bike. Around 1:00 into the video, it looks like the yeti is handing out feeds.
